CEOs Say Top Job Candidates Know What Companies Are All About Why Focusing on One Coding Language is Death for a Developer's Job Prospects Fundamental Skills for a Bright Future in IT The Silver Anniversary ​25 years ago a gallon of gasoline cost $1.11, the number one sitcom on TV was Roseanne, "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston was on top of the music charts, Bill Clinton had just been sworn in as the 42nd President of the United States ​and Donald Trump was still just a real estate developer from New York. Much has changed over the course of the past quarter century but one thing has remained constant - PSCI has remained in business! This month PSCI celebrates its 25th anniversary and we would be remiss if we didn't thank all of our past and current employees/consultants who helped us achieve this milestone. Without you these past 25 years would not have been possible and because of you we expect to be in business for at least another 25 years! So from the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU!!!
